Was your bakkie still there in one piece after the paddle. Very dicey! they had riots down there the other day. My folks had to be diverted through Kayelitsha. What will become of this beach road? but then again they all coming to the Strand so maybe one day there won't be a problem there.

Any reports... yesterdays weather was great but the early morning strand fisherman had no catches to report. On the western side of False bay Jan Vaaljas was making his appearance well known with numerous sightings from the beaches.

Howzit Shafiek... long time no hear, or see or speak.

Well Sunday produced some good crays and quickly from Pringle Bay. Other than that we had some fun with light tackle hitting the hotties before the NW turned things up side down. Upon a rather rough landing the weather turned for the better (for a change) and things looked good again.

Hangklip had some good (others not so) catches of Geelbek on saturday night. Fish seemed to come on the bite late with boats having between a fishermans 0 and 7 fish.

Thanks Rudolph, im very keen as mentioned I have had my kayak for a while and havent really used it much mainly because i havent had the time but i think i also need a bit of advice how to rig etc. My weekend starts in a couple of hours and ends on the 11 so if anyone doesnt mind, im more than will and have the time. Will keep checking the posts.

Chris, i'm sure there will be a bunch of us out the Weekend, keep track of where and when in topic "weekend ahead"

Okay so today was plenty plenty paddling, rushed to cape point after hearing Glen bellowing "tail" before leaping into his chopper but nothing,..trawled from buffels 'man alone' to the point and back. Stopped and tried for tubes in usual spot, got 1 in 20 min and decided was wasting my time and hungry for my tuna sandwich which keeping cool in my cooler box in the car.

Thought would have better luck at Simonstown so packed up and relanched at Simons, after nothing in 20 min left there are drove back to strand and like the die hard that i am, decided to go out at blakes but once again "0"
